LeBow College of Business integrates Drexel University's technological
prominence with experience-based education to develop world-class
leaders and advance knowledge through research.

The LeBow experience is different from that at other colleges. Drexel
University operates on the quarter system, with four quarters per year
that are 10 weeks long.
One of LeBow's biggest advantages is the world-renowned Drexel Co-op.
This co-operative education plan enables students to alternate terms in
industry and in the classroom after the freshman year. Co-operative
education students usually spend six quarters gaining real-world,
professional experience. Most graduate with 18 months of experience on
their resumes.
